Six foot six stood on the ground, weighted 235 pounds
But I saw that giant of a man brought down to his knees by love
He was the kind of man who would gamble on love
Look you in the eye and never back up
But I saw him crying like a little whipped pup because of love
Can't see it with your eyes, hold it in your hands
Like the rules that govern our land
Strong enough to rule the heart of every man, this thing called love
It can lift you up, it can put you down
Take your world and turn it all around
Ever since time nothing's ever been found stronger than love
Men like me they worry and doubt
Trouble their minds day in and day out
Too busy a livin' to worry about a thing called love
But when I see a mother's tenderness
As she holds her young close to her breast
Then I say thank God this world will win with the thing called love
Can't see it with your eyes, hold it in your hand
Like the rules that govern our land
Strong enough to rule the heart of every man, this thing called love
It can lift you up, it can put you down
Take your world and turn it all around
Ever since time nothing's ever been found stronger than love
The lyrics A THING CALLED LOVE of GLEN CAMPBELL is also present in the album Adios (2017)
Glen Travis Campbell (1936-2017) è stato un cantante, chitarrista, paroliere e attore statunitense considerato uno dei più grandi artisti del country music. Iniziò la sua carriera negli anni cinquanta come session man per diversi artisti di Nashville, prima di emergere come solista con il suo album d'esordio "Glen Campbell" nel 1962. Campbell ha raggiunto il successo internazionale negli anni sessanta e settanta con successi come "Rhinestone Cowboy", "Wichita Lineman" e "Gentle on My Mind". Il suo stile musicale era caratterizzato da una voce calda e melodiosa, un'eccellente tecnica chitarristica e la capacità di interpretare canzoni country, pop e folk con grande sensibilità. Oltre alla musica, Campbell ha recitato in diversi film e programmi televisivi, dimostrando un talento versatile che lo ha reso una figura iconica del panorama musicale americano.
